Replying to Advice about skis length
Hi everyone,
A beginner question here, apologies if it’s a dumb question :) Until now I was renting equipment whenever skiing. Tbh, never bothered actually checking the equipment I was getting in terms of size.
decided now I should buy my equipment and stop wasting money, so when I rented last time in the mountain, I checked the measurements to understand what I should be looking for.
now I was reading and got super confused with skis length. All online advice says that for beginners, Skis should be around -10 from the person’s height. I’m around 177 cm, so figured I probably need around 168 skis. BUT... in the rental store, they gave me 150 cm Rossignol skis, and a different day 152 cm. How is it possible? Wouldn’t those be too short for me?
Thanks!
